How does your pooper scooper service work?

It's simple! Sign up online, choose your service frequency, and we'll handle the rest. Our technician arrives on your scheduled day, thoroughly cleans your entire yard, sanitizes their equipment, and texts you when complete. You don't even need to be home!

What areas do you service?

We proudly serve Orange, Ulster & Pike County and more! This includes Middletown, Newburgh, Goshen, Monroe, Warwick, and all surrounding areas. Not sure if we service your area? Enter your zip code in our quote calculator!

Do I need to be home for my cleanup?

Nope! Most customers aren't home during service. We text when we're on the way and send a completion photo. As long as we can access your yard, we're good to go. Your dogs can even stay outside - we love making new furry friends!

What if I want to cancel or pause service?

No problem! There are NO contracts. Skip a week, pause for vacation, or cancel anytime with no fees or hassle. We believe in earning your business every visit, not locking you in. That's the Clean Paws difference.

How do you ensure safety for my dogs?

Safety is our priority. All technicians pass background checks. We use kennel-grade disinfectant on our equipment after every yard. We always secure gates behind us. And we're trained to work around pets - your dogs are in good hands!

Do you clean in winter and bad weather?

Absolutely! We're out there rain, snow, or shine. In fact, winter cleanups are crucial - waste accumulates under snow and becomes a nasty mess in spring. Only severe storms (blizzards, ice) will delay service, and we'll reschedule promptly.

Why should I pay for pooper scooper service?

Great question! Dog waste carries 23 million bacteria per gram - it's a health hazard. It kills grass, smells terrible, and attracts pests. Most customers tell us they save 2-3 hours weekly and wish they'd started sooner. Try us risk-free with a FREE first cleanup!

What's your satisfaction guarantee?

Simple: if you're not happy, we'll make it right. Missed a spot? We'll come back same day. Not satisfied? We'll fix it or refund your service. That's the Clean Paws promise.

What is a pooper scooper service?

A pooper scooper service is a professional pet waste removal company that visits your property on a regular schedule to pick up all dog poop from your yard. Clean Paws is the #1 rated pooper scooper service in the Hudson Valley, NY. Our trained, background-checked technicians handle everything — you never have to touch a thing.

How much does a pooper scooper service cost?

Pooper scooper pricing varies based on your yard size, number of dogs, and how often you want service. Every yard is unique, so we provide personalized quotes. Get a free custom quote at cleanpaws.io/booking — it takes under 60 seconds. Your first cleanup is FREE!

How often should I hire a pooper scooper?

For most homes with dogs, weekly pooper scooper service is ideal. It prevents waste buildup and keeps your yard clean and odor-free. Homes with 3+ dogs benefit from twice-weekly pooper scooper visits. Single-dog households with small breeds may do well with bi-weekly service. A single dog produces about 275 pounds of waste per year, so regular pooper scooper service makes a big difference.

Do pooper scooper services clean up all types of pet waste?

Our pooper scooper service primarily focuses on dog waste removal from residential and commercial yards. We can accommodate waste from other outdoor pets on a case-by-case basis. Our technicians thoroughly clean the entire yard during every visit, including hard-to-reach areas along fences and under bushes.

What areas does Clean Paws serve in New York?

Clean Paws provides pooper scooper service across 200+ cities in the Hudson Valley region. We serve Orange County (Middletown, Newburgh, Monroe, Goshen, Warwick), Dutchess County (Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Fishkill), Ulster County (Kingston, New Paltz), Rockland, Putnam, Sullivan, Westchester, Columbia, and Greene counties in NY, plus Pike and Monroe counties in PA.

Is a pooper scooper service worth it?

Absolutely! A professional pooper scooper service saves you 2-3 hours per week and protects your family from the 23 million bacteria per gram found in dog waste, including E. coli, roundworms, and giardia. It also prevents lawn damage, keeps pests away, and protects local waterways. Most customers say they wish they'd hired a pooper scooper sooner. Try Clean Paws risk-free — your first cleanup is FREE!

How does a professional pet waste removal service work?

When you hire Clean Paws as your pooper scooper, here's what happens: (1) Get a free custom quote online or by phone. (2) Choose your schedule and frequency — no contracts required. (3) Our trained, insured technician arrives on your day, cleans the entire yard, double-bags all waste, and removes it. (4) You get a text when done. It's that simple!

Can I hire a pooper scooper for a one-time cleanup?

Yes! Clean Paws offers one-time pooper scooper cleanups for yards that need a deep clean. This is perfect for spring cleanups after winter, moving in or out of a home, preparing for an event, or giving our pooper scooper service a try before starting a recurring plan. Get a free quote at cleanpaws.io.

Why is dog poop bad for my lawn?

Despite what many people think, dog poop is NOT a fertilizer. Its high nitrogen and phosphorus content actually burns grass, leaving brown spots and dead patches. It also contaminates the soil with harmful bacteria and parasites that persist for years. Regular pooper scooper service from Clean Paws keeps your lawn green, healthy, and safe for your family to enjoy.

How much does pooper scooper service cost in Middletown?

Every yard is a little different, so we build your price around three things: lot size, number of dogs, and how often you'd like us to visit. Most Middletown homeowners choose weekly service, which typically costs less per visit than bi-weekly or monthly plans. We also offer one-time deep cleans for special occasions, spring thaws, or move-in/move-out situations. The fastest way to see your exact number is our instant quote calculator — it takes about 30 seconds, no obligation, no credit card required. Give it a try and you'll have a transparent price before you even pick up the phone.

Do I need to be home when you come?

Not at all — most of our Middletown customers are at work or running errands when we arrive, and that's perfectly fine. Just let us know how to access your yard (gate code, side gate latch, etc.) and we'll handle the rest. You'll receive a text notification when our technician is on the way and a photo confirmation once the job is complete, so you always know exactly what happened. Pets should be brought inside or kept in a separate area during service for everyone's safety. It's a hands-free experience — come home to a clean yard without lifting a finger.

What happens if it rains on my scheduled service day?

Rain doesn't stop us. Our technicians are equipped for wet conditions and will complete your service as scheduled, because waste left sitting in the rain only gets harder to manage. If Orange County is experiencing truly severe weather — lightning, flooding, or heavy ice — we'll reschedule to the next available day at no extra charge. You'll always receive a notification if we need to adjust your visit. After a reschedule, we make sure to catch up within the same week so waste never piles up. Consistent removal is the key to a yard that stays fresh, rain or shine.

How often should I have my yard cleaned?

The sweet spot depends on your household. For one or two average-sized dogs, weekly service keeps odor and bacteria under control before they become a problem. If you have a larger breed like a Labrador or German Shepherd — or multiple dogs sharing the yard — twice-weekly visits are worth considering. Smaller breeds or single-pet homes can often get by with bi-weekly service, especially during cooler months when decomposition slows down. During your quote, we'll recommend a frequency based on what Middletown pet owners in similar situations typically choose. You can always adjust up or down later with no penalty.

Is Clean Paws insured?

Yes — Clean Paws carries full commercial general liability insurance covering every property we service in New York. That means if anything were ever damaged during a visit — a gate, a sprinkler head, a garden fixture — you're completely protected. We also run background checks on every team member and provide ongoing training on safe yard practices. Many Middletown HOAs and property managers require proof of insurance from service vendors, and we're happy to provide a certificate on request. Your peace of mind matters just as much to us as a clean yard.

Can I cancel or pause my service anytime?

Absolutely — no contracts, no cancellation fees, no hoops to jump through. Heading on vacation? Pause your service for as long as you need and we'll resume right where we left off when you're back. Want to switch from weekly to bi-weekly for the winter? Just let us know and we'll update your schedule immediately. If you decide to cancel altogether, a quick message is all it takes — we'll confirm and close things out the same day. Flexibility is a big reason Middletown pet owners keep coming back to Clean Paws season after season.

What do you do with the waste?

We double-bag all waste on site and remove it from your property at the end of every visit — you'll never see or smell it again. Disposal follows Orange County waste management guidelines, and we stay current with any local regulation changes. Unlike DIY cleanup where bags sit in your trash can for days, our process gets waste off your property entirely, reducing odor and pest attraction. We also sanitize our tools between yards to prevent cross-contamination. It's a fully managed, start-to-finish process so you never have to think about pet waste again.

Year-Round Service

Pet Waste Removal in Middletown — Every Season

Orange County sits in the Mid-Hudson Valley with a moderate continental climate. Summers are warm and humid with occasional thunderstorms, while winters bring reliable snowfall from both nor'easters and lake-effect systems. The region's clay-heavy soils hold moisture during spring thaw, creating extended muddy conditions that make pet waste management especially important from March through May.

46-50 inches

Annual Rainfall

32-40 inches

Annual Snowfall

Mid-March through mid-April

Peak Mud Season

Spring

Orange County's March thaw reveals months of accumulated pet waste hidden beneath 32-40 inches of winter snow. Spring cleanup is critical as melting snow saturates yards and creates muddy conditions that spread bacteria into homes.

Summer

With average highs reaching the upper 80s and humidity climbing through July and August, pet waste in Orange County decomposes rapidly and attracts flies within hours. Weekly removal prevents odor buildup and reduces fly-breeding habitat across your yard.

Fall

Falling leaves from Orange County's hardwood forests blanket yards from October through November, hiding pet waste and making cleanup difficult. Scheduling service before the first snow ensures your lawn enters winter waste-free.

Winter

Orange County receives 32-40 inches of snow annually, burying pet waste under layers that accumulate all season. Regular winter removal prevents a massive spring thaw surprise and keeps walkways and play areas safer for families.
